Crispy Fantasy, co-founded by entrepreneurs Andrea Rodrik and Raphaël Nahoum, is made with a short list of wholesome and natural ingredients, including unsweetened cacao powder, soy and pea protein, as well as avocado oil. Each cheerful, bright-colored box provides four times more protein and at least 50% less sugar than leading cereals on the market. Crispy Fantasy already has accomplished the hardest thing: creating a mind-blowingly great product. I've tasted the other 'healthy' cereals and Crispy Fantasy's product blows all of them away; it's truly the 'Halo Top' of cereal," says Doug Bouton. "Halo Top is sold in more than 30 countries, and I'm incredibly excited to partner with Crispy Fantasy as an investor and advisor to help them build a global brand anchored by mind-blowingly great products." With deep-rooted beliefs in democratizing access to nutrition, Crispy Fantasy creates better value for its customers at a more affordable price.
The surge in functional cereal companies continues with another entry into the space from over in the UK, with Crispy Fantasy. It joins the growing list of well-marketed, high-protein, and flavor-driven cereals, and it recently expanded its flagship product into an actual menu. Until this month, Crispy Fantasy only had one flavor of cereal on the market in classic Chocolate, and now there is also Honey and Cinnamon.We're extremely fortunate and honoured to be supported by amazing US entrepreneurs, including Doug Bouton from Halo Top and Peter Rahal who sold RXBar to Kellogg's - they both have incredible experience building and operating brands in Europe too. In the near future, Crispy Fantasy will also enter other European nations, including Germany, and we're so excited to ultimately build a global presence for our hassle-free, junk-free, and incredibly delicious product,” FoodNavigator was told.
Bouton, who described Crispy Fantasy as the “Halo Top of cereal,” noted how the cereal startup will be leveraging their distribution platform — currently sold in more than 30 countries — to eventually build a global presence. Rahal also said in a statement: “With my experience, I'm going to help these amazing founders with all the problems that emerge with the company building process.” Strategic Market Expansion Indeed, Crispy Fantasy believes its approach puts it in prime position to disrupt the European breakfast cereal category and take market share from ‘incumbents’ that, the start-up founders say, have failed to bring innovation to the segment The breakfast cereal market is forecast to grow by CAGR of 4.2% through to 2026, according to figures from Mordor Intelligence. However, Crispy Fantasy doesn’t see anything new coming to the shelf to bring excitement to the fixture. In Crispy Fantasy’s other more recent flavors, Honey and Cinnamon, the nutrition profiles are a bit different; in fact, you get as much as 13% more protein, around double the fat, and 122 to 126 calories instead of 109. Obviously, it comes down to taste for functional foods, and Crispy Fantasy’s cereal does sound good, featuring a traditional hoop shape, and it does have some sugar which should help it deliver a great taste.

We believe the European breakfast cereal market is ripe for disruption especially as there haven't been any new products that cater to the needs of health-conscious consumers,” Rodrik and Nahoum told FoodNavigator.
With our plant-based attribute and classic, nostalgic flavours, we're able to satisfy literally everyone as a mass-market brand,” the co-founders suggested. 'The Halo Top of cereal'Attention has been paid to the nutritional detail of product formulations. Each box of Crispy Fantasy provides four times more protein and 50% less sugar per serving than the ‘leading’ cereals on the market, the group claims. The industry has been untapped for decades and is clearly dominated by a few long-standing incumbents. From a nutrition perspective, the current leading brands in the cereal market are high in sugar and low in real healthy nutrients. Crispy Fantasy stands out with our first-to-market ‘junk-free, hassle-free’ brand proposition by using only clean, natural, and wholesome ingredients, including pea & soy protein, avocado oil, and unsweetened cacao powder. Our product also contains at least 50% less sugar compared to legacy brands on the market. Crispy Fantasy's gluten-free, high fibre, and plant-based attributes also make us a no-brainer for health-conscious consumers,” we were told. Mr. Rodrik and Nahoum comment: "At Crispy Fantasy, we are creating a brand new category, in which taste meets health, making cereal the way it should be — delicious, fun, and loaded with nutritional benefits that help you stay energized and productive. We also feel tremendously fortunate to partner with Doug and Peter, two of America's most profound food entrepreneurs, leveraging their vast network and resources to bring our exciting products and best-in-class experience possible to market."
